Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

I hope he goes 6-6 and beats FSU...and so they keep him because he gave them a little but of hope...over and over and over.

I don't want them to get lucky like we did and hire a good coach.

Lane Kiffin texting his agent as we speak....

 

[OrangeSticks]

Contract issues most likely think I seen an article about it last night checking out the problem with Spectrum and Disney all about money....

Contract dispute with Nexstar. Depends on which affiliate they own in your area. ABC for me.

I don’t know about their defense, but our offense is more talented. Their depth chart lists a walk-on, a 3 star, and a 3 star transfer at WR. They have a transfer from Louisiana and Etienne was a 3 star at RB. They have two 4 stars on the OL, one of which played in 2 games for Bama last year.

We have much better skill players. We have a 5 star, two 4 stars, and Squirrel at WR. Wright and Small were 3 star, but Sampson and Seldon were 4 stars. Our OL is comparable.

We are also better coached, so that puts many more points on the board.

Stars don't mean much at this point.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Etienne is Florida royalty. No way in hell he'd be portaled. And honestly, he should be playing better than this. He was better last year.

Could be protecting himself from injury at this point because he knows his OL is hot garbage.

 

[knoxvol52]

He alright, Mookie blast 2 HR and 5 RBI he isn't a scrub ...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Because I want Florida to go 2-10.

I want them to remain bad fir a decade

Just found a video of Billy dancing to Cold Play. Have to share.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It is a big deal, but this is the part we have to have trust in our coaches. We have no other choice, but to vent on here. Please, imagine that unicorn gif you love so much and tell yourself ‘serenity now’, (sorry, my lazy ass didn’t post it), otherwise, still went. We’ve got a lot of ears and eyes on here, although too many yappers.

I just don't want unthoughtful expectations to cause this fanbase to go toxic on Heupel and his staff...IMO too many people do NOT understand that we do NOT have elite talent stacked up like cordwood.

Our staff is really good...they are not magicians.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

They are very physical at practice, like they allowed the defense to tackle the QB's in the spring game and in scrimmages

The absolutely pathetic tackling in last years UF game embarrassed Wittingham...so he made sure it didn’t happen again.

Drinking my coffee and perusing through on3 gator boards is a great way to start my day

 

[VolNash17]

You all gotta get over that Florida BVS. Times have changed.

Florida’s Dline is solid but not disruptive. Back half is bad. Gonna have busts that lead to big chunk plays against a CJH offense.

UF wrs are good but the Oline is bad bad and Mehrtz isn’t winning games on his own.

Even on the road, we should roll them by by 2+ TDs.

“should”. Seen that plenty of times… although I agree. Vols should stomp them but that game always makes me sweat. I didn’t sleep but 3 hours the night before last years matchup. It’s just BVS. 25 years worth

@Enki_Amenra do you ever wonder how Vegas just knows?….I mean the Minnesota came down to a review on a toe drag to tie I wish they done like a documentary on that aspect of the betting world

They spend a ton of money analyzing trends and analytics. And, remember, their goal is not to get the line right. Their goal is to get equal bets on each side.

 

[drvenner]

The ego and attitude that Drinkwitz has as the head coach of a nothing program like Missouri is absolutely wild. Dude is so unlikable.

Fredrickson is a tool, so I don't care that much. But Drinkwitz is pretty tone deaf. You know he desperately wants to put it on us this year. I know he is in for another very long day when we go to Missouri.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I legitimately feel bad for Nebraska.

Yeah...but at least they got that gimmicky all time women's sporting event record thing doing for them..

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Fanatics sports book. . . bet $10, get $200 in free bets

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

How did a sunbelt coach get that kind of buyout?

Because Danny White is not their AD

 

[drvenner]

kicker

Kicker? I don't even know her.

 

[drvenner]

I think Florida will play better against us. I think the crowd will be into it and the team will be motivated, with their season basically on the line. I think it will be a hostile environment. Fortunately, we are more hostile, more agile, and more mobile. We win by 17.

Coastypop Needs Our Help

Some of you remember Coasty. He was in the process of taking over as pastor at a church in Horseshoe Beach when the hurricane hit. Sold his house in TN, so basically he's homeless because the parsonage was flooded and they lost most of their possessions. The church has a lot of damage as well...

*another poster started this in the zone. Coasty's been on VN since 09 and I remember him mostly from the Gruden Threads. I like him.

I'll be praying for you @Coastypop

 

[volfaninpa]

Good morning Volnation from Assateague Island!

 

[OrangenSC]

Yeah, but I wanna see a win while I'm here. If we can stretch out some at-bats, be selective, foul off what we don't want and run
up the pitch count, we can maybe get 2-3 innings against the pen.


Well... I typed that before Harris' dinger....

You do realize the Braves have one of the best pens in baseball, right?

They don’t know but are good at their jobs…. People mainly remember the times they were dead on…..

 

[drvenner]

How can you keep Gators out of your front yard?

Very easy. Just put up a goal post.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Looks like Gators are going through some things.

We were looking at our various VOLS hats and Butch Jones ruined one with his extremely large signature across the bill. We were thinking you shouldn't get coaches to sign your hats or clothing. BUT.. Hype? He's already had our team number one with a depleted roster. He changed a 3rd string quarterback into a second round draft pick. We went to a New Years Six bowl in his second year and we beat Alabama. I'll let him sign my hat and be proud regardless of the future. (and we need to keep him)

that's a shame.
